What if I didn't know about the city's Cigarette Tax?
It is the duty of all dealers and sellers to pay the tax and properly affix the cigarette tax stamps. It is also their duty to ensure that all cigarettes have the proper tax stamps before delivering or offering the cigarettes for sale to the public. All cigarettes should be inspected by the dealer and seller to ensure the tax stamps are displayed.
